Vintage snailmail from Nancy

This week I met Nancy in the digital world of Facebook, where she was looking for snailmail friends. She posted some examples from stuff she likes. Well I liked that stuff aswell! This is what she send me, a really fun and colourful decorated envie to start with.

Check out these great deer postage stamps! The postman also stamped the Japanese stamps Nancy put on it. I think he thought to stamp it anyway, just to be safe. On the back of the envelope a really cute snailmail sticker. I even managed to peel it off! Gonna stick that in my scrapbook, for keeps! Like!

This was just the kind of mail that ticked every box of paperstuff I really really like! Sometimes you receive something that really makes you smile. Well, that was definitely the case here! Overjoyed with snailmail pleasure! A little garland with my name (cool!), a tag with my name, some vintage cards (like!), three word balloon 3D stickers, a few pieces of paper with: La vie est belle (life is beautiful) on it, a picture of her wall in her kitchen full of vintage enamel advertising boards (jealous!), a collage of herself, home and life (like!) and a vintage picture of an astronaut. A small envelope from China reused (wich was full of the small papers), a letter and a tag with dots. A vintage page from a childrens book and a teabag.

It's not the amount of paper beauty that made me happy, but the attention to detail and because it was all in the same style. Well, I really appreciate that! Only thing that worries me, how can I match this? Makes me a tad insecure I guess.

I'm noticing a real difference in letters people send, some people send superficial letters without really telling anything about themself, and some are really personal where you get a glimpse in someone's life. I like the latter. This was the case here, like! And a great stamp that's on my bucket list! It's from a clear stamp sheet from Marianne's design. A real cool vintage stamp!
